Chapter 35 Thrown onto the Bed!
“…”
“…”
After Lonis confessed, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped by several degrees.
Even with her eyes closed, Lonis could feel Elus glaring at her fiercely. Elus’s expression was probably saying: ‘You masochistic hardworking maid are truly a complete waste.’
However, Lonis had not expected…
Her own body was actually picked up by Elus. Then, as if she were a piece of cargo, she was thrown onto the bed!
“Ugh!”
Although the bed was not hard, being thrown out like garbage still made Lonis feel like her body had fallen apart.
“Only for now, you will lie on the bed and rest.”
“Wuu…”
“From now on, no noises, no crying in pain, and no disturbing my work!”
…
Lonis opened her eyes and saw Elus going to work, looking very angry.
She took out a pile of papers from her storage ring and placed them in the toilet.
She then took out some sealed cans and some blue stones and put them in the refrigerator.
Finally, she took out a toolbox and began to knock and hammer on the entire ship… It was a seemingly tedious job, making Lonis, who was lying on the bed, feel a little embarrassed.
(I feel so useless…)
Lonis looked at her body. Although her legs wrapped in white stockings seemed like they could be played with for a year, she was indeed only good for appearance and not for practical use, unable to even do a maid’s job well.
On the contrary, Elus, although always bullying her, was very reliable in such matters. After about an hour of busy work, she had finished inspecting the entire ship.
The magic engine seemed to be ready to start, but it was getting dark, and even the factory was dim and colorless. Elus did not plan to depart at the moment. Instead, she walked to the bedside and said sternly:
“Lonis?”
“Yes… Yes!”
Startled, Lonis propped herself up forcefully and quickly sat up.
“Go and cut 2 servings of beef into small cubes, then steam them over low heat for half an hour.”
“Oh…”
“The stove is in the living room. If you don’t understand anything, read the manual.”
“I… I got it.”
Lonis scurried to the living room… although her body was still a bit tired, after resting for a while, steaming the beef was no problem at all.
“Huh… the meat is already prepared?”
Lonis looked at the stove and found two pieces of beef and a short sword placed on it. Next to it was a cooking manual.
(I… I’m not a child. Cooking something should still be okay, right?)
Although she thought so, the silver-haired girl, having learned from past experience, still obediently opened the manual and read it carefully…
Just like the manuals in her past life, it contained cooking methods for various dishes.
What surprised Lonis was that it also explained how to use “Fire Crystals”: these fire crystals were very similar to the gas she remembered, but they were more stable and would not cause gas leaks.
(That’s right, I also remember Elus mentioning Ice Crystals to the Village Chief… Could it be that various types of crystals are the main energy source in this world?)
Lonis tilted her head. Although she was very curious, she still followed the steps in the book to cook the beef.
Steam rose from the pot, and tender beef tumbled in the boiling water.
A rich aroma wafted towards her. Having not had lunch, Lonis’s stomach was rumbling, and she desperately wanted to swallow the beef in front of her.
Since there were so many pieces, it shouldn’t be okay to secretly eat one, right?
Looking at the beef, the silver-haired girl couldn’t help but think so—perhaps when they ate later, Elus would bully her again, making her stand by like a humble maid, only able to watch her eat.
After she finished eating, Lonis would only have a little beef broth to drink.
No, if Elus wanted to bully her, she might not even give her the beef broth.
…
“What, you idiot maid who can’t even clean a room, you still want soup?”
“I… I think there’s a little left…”
“Hmph, don’t even think about it. I won’t even give you the soup if I pour it out! You useless good-for-nothing, you won’t die of hunger anyway, so just starve~”
“Wuwuwu!”
…
If things really developed to that point, she would be utterly miserable!
It would be better to steal a bite now, and since Elus was lying in the bedroom, she probably wouldn’t find out.
Once the devilish thought appeared in her mind, Lonis felt unable to resist. She wanted to reach out with her chopsticks and pick up a piece of beef to eat.
But…
There were no chopsticks.
There were no tableware in the kitchen, only a pot and a stove. If Lonis wanted to eat beef, she would have to pierce the beef soup with the short sword to get a piece.
And the difficulty was significantly increased because Lonis had cut the beef into small pieces, making it difficult to pierce.
It was impossible to grab it with her bare hands either. The beef soup was so hot that her fingers would be scalded.
So…
(Forget it, I won’t pull any more stunts.)
Lonis sighed. She felt that if she caused any more trouble, some strange consequences would always occur. So the silver-haired girl honestly followed the instructions in the manual, waited for the stove to turn off its flame for 1 minute, and took out the beef soup.
“Elus Mas… Master, the beef soup is ready.”
Lonis walked very carefully, afraid of slipping accidentally…
But there was no response.
“Mas… Master? (Is she not able to hear because she closed the door?)”
Lonis placed the beef soup on the dining table and then walked towards the bedroom.
…
But Lonis did not expect…
Elus had actually fallen asleep.
The black-haired girl with slender legs and a graceful figure lay on the bed, her eyes closed with a relaxed expression.
She hadn’t even covered herself with a blanket. Her chest rose and fell with her breathing, a pair of very full breasts: white and round. Part of the scar was hidden within her clothes, but the exposed portion looked so beautiful.
Elus’s thighs were relatively strong, but her calves looked very slender, and her feet were not large. Even without her high heels, she stood confidently, looking quite alluring.
…
It was Lonis’s first time seeing Elus’s sleeping face (as an adult), and she was instantly mesmerized.
Especially since Elus was sleeping, her eyes were closed… Without their usual sharp glint, the black-haired girl at this moment looked much more gentle.
Although it was also appropriate to describe her as a young lady, in comparison, she looked more like a graceful and noble princess.
(No, Elus is actually a princess, isn’t she? And she’s silver-haired…)
Realizing this, Lonis’s heart began to pound.
Some instinct within her urged her to do something to this black-haired girl… like stroking her hand and her black stockings.
But her reason told Lonis that doing so would definitely be disastrous!
Elus was already angry at the moment. If she did something else…
Lonis was hesitating… but this kind of opportunity was fleeting.
As if sensing Lonis’s presence, Elus slowly woke up from the bed:
“Mm, it smells good… Is the beef soup ready?”
“It… it’s ready.”
“Good, you go and drink it first.”
Elus opened her eyes, revealing a bright gaze.
